History
The Southern Pacific Railroad began operations to Yuma on September 30, 1877.[3]
The railroad built a new Spanish Colonial Revival-style station in 1926.[2] Routes that served the station include the Sunset Limited, the Golden State, and the Imperial.
After Southern Pacific ceased passenger operations upon Amtrak's start in 1971, the station housed the Yuma Fine Arts Museum. The depot was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The structure was devastated in a May 1993 fire and was razed in the summer of 1994.[4] It was delisted from the National Register in 2019. The location is now used for the Yuma Armed Forces Park.
